DIFFA (Design Industries Foundations Fighting Aids) will be hosting an auction evening of fun and fabulous dinners and wine pairings. Plus all sorts of beautiful items to bid on.

The tablescape I will be designing is for one of Seattle’s most popular restaurants–Rover’s! Who doesn’t know “The Chef in the Hat” Thierry Rautureau? He’s recently been involved in the hit TV series “Top Chef Masters“–what a show!

Rover’s describes itself as offering “the cuisine of the Pacific Northwest refined by a French accent.”

I’ll be donating one of my paintings in the French Wallpaper Series, “A Lovely, Lovely Dream.”

And for the table, my inspiration comes from Thierry’s love of texture, color, taste and surprise. He creates magic with unexpected pairings! So look for lots of color, pattern and layers,( much like my paintings) –I’ll be including vintage heavy linens, found objects, 100-year-old estate bird china, French pressed glass (pink!), 4 original miniature Kathe Fraga paintings for each plate, along with Kathe Fraga greeting card sets and Thierry Rautureau inspired hats!
